Fuck You Buddy

Welcome to the game!
Choose your characteristics:
1. ”Do unto others as you would have them do unto you”
2. "Do unto others as they do unto you."
3. “Do unto others as you wish, before they do it unto you”

The fusion of “game theory” (a mathematical attempt to pre­dict human behaviour) and the dramaturgical development in computer games in the last decade, is the conceptual and visual frame of this performance for 4 dancers and an interacting video scenography.

With graphics and choreogra­phy inspired by the totalitarian collectivism in games like “Lem­ming’s” to the anarchistic indi­vidualism in “GTA”, “Fuck you Buddy” is a performance for the sake of the game, a game about winning at any cost and about being born inherently selfish.....or?
